John was friendly, interested in our network problems, systematic in investigating them, and comprehensive in solving a range of other computer issues that needed tidying up with a number of computers in our household. But mostly I was most impressed with just how nice it was to have John around helping us out. Kind of like a friend. Thanks heaps JohnMore

Recent testimonial from PhilFri 28 Oct 2016There are back-ups and there are back-ups that work for people like me - we're capable of using the software we need in our businesses, but not competent and quick in using software tools once in a "blue moon" to do our own system recovery.

John's backup recovery system keeps a mirror image of my computer - all the programs and data, everything; all together, so you just load it on to the replacement. It's a process that entails just a few steps I can write down and easily follow ….. and there's none of the delay or financial rape that I've experienced on

As tempting as it sounds, there is one fatal drawback to their use and relying on cloud storage places your files, pictures, documents, spreadsheets at risk.
